King for 72 years, he devoted more than 40 to building Versailles
Answer Louis XIV
The Sun King's glitzy palace was once a rustic hunting lodge where he had played as a child. By the time Louis XIV was done, his country home boasted 700 rooms, 1,250 chimneys, 67 staircases and more than 2,000 windows. A particular favorite of Versaille visitors is the Hall of Mirrors, which makes jaws drop with its 357 dazzling mirrors. The Venetian craftsman who were assasinated for revealing Italy's mirror-making secrets to the French would surely appreciate that their handiwork is so admired.
